I've been using the MIRAGE CM7.2 KANG ever since I got my NC back in January, and I love it. For a while I was using the ICS Tablet Tweaked theme, but decided that I prefer a lot of the look and feel without that theme, especially after later updates made the theme act a little funky.
The one thing I did like about the ICS theme was that the softkey buttons I used were in the ICS order -- back, home, notifications, menu -- while the system theme has (to me) a bit of a less-natural order: home, menu, back, notifications. Is there any easy way I'm missing to change up that order? There are no options I can see for it in the Cyanogenmod Settings menu.
If it'd require some editing of this or that file, I can probably figure it out, but I don't know where to start. Thanks to anyone in advance!
After some research and snooping, I figured this out on my own!
I used APKTool to decompile SystemUI.apk (using this guide, sans the HTC-specific parts), and edited res/layout/status_bar.xml in WordPad by finding the items that looked like this:
Code:
<ImageButton android:id="@id/status_back"
android:background="@drawable/ic_statusbar_back_bottom"
android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
...and changing names around (i.e. "back" to "home" in each applicable space).
I also did some editing of the PNG files in res/drawable-mdpi to get a little closer to the ICS flavor. The end result:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
...is perfect!
Thanks to the CM7 team for an amazing experience on my Nook and to mrg666 for his KANG!
Excellent guide, I was wondering how to change the order.
Can you share your png files, or point me to where you used them from?
CWM Flashable CM7.2 ICS Button Order
I made a flashable.zip to rearange the Soft Keys on CM7.2-RC1 MiRaGe - KANG build specifically 04/16/2012 update. It may work on other builds, but I have not tested. So be sure to backup and try at your own risk.
In the zip is the modified SystemUI with the buttons laid out in the order of ICS
Find the attached file and flash it in CWM to install the new SystemUI with modified softbutton order.
I also included a revert to flash back the stock SystemUI if something goes wrong.
REMEMBER FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!!! THIS IS FOR *CM7.2-RC1 MiRaGe -KANG*
I have only tested this for the above build.
Nice work! I'm glad this was helpful. I'd just been swapping in the new APK using ES File Explorer, but a flashable zip is a great resource.
Here's a .zip file with some of the PNG files I changed. Switching these out with the images in res/drawable-mdpi will black out the "separator" bars around each of the buttons, and also change the Quick Notifications button to the ICS Recent Apps button.
Excellent!!! Thanks for sharing the images. Added your PNG files to the SystemUI along with the changed layout and made it all CWM Flashable.
Same Warnings apply as above...
This is great. I didn't care for the ICS-style layout in joe's ICS theme, but now I'm really used to it.
Will these also change the battery icon to have the % plus the bar icon? I'm missing that from CM9.
If you mean how the battery looks on my screenshot, you can get that through Settings - CyanogenMod settings - Interface - Status bar tweaks - Battery status style, and switching to Percentage. I think that's all there is to it!

Ok, I'll have to try this again. I thought I did that last night but just got the numbers w/o the bar next to it.
You might have to reboot -- I remember having some issues like that.
You guys mind if I use the pngs etc. for a galaxy tab rom? i may share it with others.i'll give proper credits.
I don't mind a bit! Most of what I did was just an extra step or two beyond others working on other Android stuff, so, happy to let that spirit continue.

Hi
i love your work and would like to use order and icons in ICS style. I'm using CM 7.2 RC1 Mirage Kang.
However i'm new to "flashing".. opening zip from file manager gives me option of opening with CWM, which after confirming reboots, but based on my knowledge ican't say anything happens. When restarting these modifications (order, icons) are not applied.
How do i "flash" this zip's correctly?
Hi shamo,
Put the update.zip on your SD card, reboot into recovery (Reboot --> Recovery), select "install zip from SD card" and install from there. That should do it.
Hi!
Thank Kybard for the tip.. managed, though the naming convention was actually update-.zip .. wouldn't work without the "-".
However, now on installing, my whole status bar is gone missing.. changed DPI from 160 to 200, disabled full screen in nook tweaks, but too no avail. Any other suggestions?
Thanks

You should have been able to click install zip from sd and selected the zip using the volume buttons to move around. I wouldn't matter what the name of the file is, as long as the extension is a *.zip. You would manually find the file and select it. Then the "flash" would occur.
What Rom version or build are you on? As stated the .zip was intended to work with [CM7.2-RC1] MiRaGe - KANG build of CyanogenMod April 16 2012 release. It may cause stability issues with older releases of the rom.
Have you went to settings and Tablet tweaks to check the settings there? Make sure the status bar is set to always visible.
@Philux-X: I had the expected ROM [CM7.2-RC1] MiRaGe - KANG build of CyanogenMod April 16 2012. Nothing special added as in modules changed, removed, added. Of course there are some 20 apps installed, but none to change UI.
I went through all settings I knew of (Cyanogen mod, ADW launcher), also disabling and re-enabling status bar settings , but no luck. I restarted launcher as well as the NC. Nothing.
Then I gave up and updated to 05052012 which brought the status bar back, but of course the order the usual, not the wished for.
I won't try changing soft buttons till next ROM update, when I have the option to overwrite it again in case soft button update does to my NC the same as the first time.
Thank you all for your effort.
shamo, if you were willing to try one more time, you could just move the SystemUI.apk manually to your system/apps folder. It's a bit more convoluted and complicated than the nice update.zip that Philux is providing, but it gets the job done. I've attached the SystemUI apk I just used for the same purpose on the new test 05062012 build, and it's working without a hitch, which I would imagine means it'd work just as well on the 05052012 build.
Just move the apk to your SD card, use ES File Explorer to move the file to /system (NOT /apps), find the file in /system and change the file permissions (hold press, select "Properties" from the pop-up menu, click "Change") to rw-r--r--, then move the file into system/apps and overwrite. SystemUI will repeatedly Force Close, but you can still pull up the shutdown/restart menu (it can be a bit of a pain to actually hit the buttons in that menu, though). Reboot and everything should work.
Since 05062012 is available I might give the Philux's update.zip another go.
Or try the "dirty" method you kindly explained. Thanks
ps: I'm running ROM from SD card, not from emmc in case that would mather.. I wouldn't expect it though..

Wrong. Metamorph works for me, but check for each theme their compatibility.
For example, the metamorph theme often need for modding the toolbar, that you have cyanogen (shubcraft hd2 roms for example)
Changing battery icon often didn't need anything special and should work.
For exemple on my shubcraft build :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
It can be tricky to know what works and doesnt on our distro, so always make a complete titanium backup before, in case your system doesnt boot anymore.

Change the title if you want more people to help you... I thought this was a how to...
I will be posting a how-to on my site soon...
In the meantime, for system themes: simply replace the the drawable-hdpi in framework-res.apk/res with the one from the theme you want. use adb push to put back into the phone.
On my build, since there's no recovery mode where we can safely change system files in use, I had to reset my email accounts and wallpaper settings after this...
no biggie...

Thanks fellaz
metamorph does work
I use the donator version and was able to successfully use the zen theme and a few more themes
however, I have been receiving issues with installing others (eg nextTang for example)
What I've been doing/done that hasn't worked is
I create a file in the root directory of my storage card, make the system folder and copy the theme files to the system (eg app, lib, res)
but my android gets a reboot sequence. It never boots after I apply the theme
I should clarify this is on shub 1.4b cm6 rc3 I tried that method
I also tried editing the htcupdate_leo.tar.gz in which the system file is in (copying the files from there) but I can't boot afterward. The boot splash reloops
any help is super appreciated
edit pongster where in the heck is your site????
Been tryingt to change the ugly stock sense theme all day without luck.
Tried metamorph even the pro version, then to replace files in root framework also creating framework folder in android build folder but nada, the phone will not boot after these tries. Kinda getting the feeling im not getting the right themes. Using darkstones latest.
Any links and howtos on successful theme installs?

with darkstones ROM's and builds you will need to delete the .odex file and the file you are about to push over before you can get it to work right. so in short the steps needed would be.
edit your theme to your liking
adb shell rm -r nameoforiginalfilestillonphone.apk /location/of/file
adb shell rm -r nameoforiginalfilestillonphone.odex /location/of/file
adb shell push nameoffileyouthemed.apk /location/you/deleted/from
adb shell reboot
this should work, but dont blame me if it doesnt.
i take no responsibility. this is simply what works for me when working with builds that have not yet been de-odexed
framework-res.apk does not seem to have a matching odex file. All the jar files have it but not apk.
ill give it a shot anyway.
no luck...
did however find out that placing the framework-res.apk on storage/android/root/system/framework does load it upon boot (saved my last crashed build by placing the original framework-res.apk there).
however have tried several framework-res.apk files from different themes... all of them crash my froyostone buid at the moment....sux :-(

Yet another theme ported to our phone.
Credits to steve_t, creator of this theme. See his thread here.
I checked this theme on Void#echo, LOL v1.2, and Megatron v.1 ROMs.
EDIT:
It is confirmed that this theme works on Void#echo, Void#delta, Devoid ypsilon, LOL v1.2, and Megatron v.1 ROMs.
It is reported that this theme works on Ubuntdroid 4, Optimus T P509
WARNING:
Partially working on OptimusX (FC on Market); see this post
Not working on Darkmoon v.2 and LOL v.1.4
For other ROMs, give it a try and tell us the result (i.e, working OK or not) so that others using same ROM with you will be assured whether to use this theme or not.
This theme has original/default window animation. See post #2 below to change window animation.

Changing window animation
In case you want to change window animation, you can do it yourself. Try these steps: (as usual, do nand backup first before flashing)
Get xmlsForWindowAnimations.zip here
Extract it to your PC, there will be 5 new directories extracted.
On your PC, copy GalaxySThemeForO1.zip to a file, say you name it 'temp.zip'
Open temp.zip (just open, not extract). I use 7-zip here.
Navigate to directory 'system\framework', double click framework-res.apk, Continue navigating to directory 'res\anim'
Drag-drop all files in one directory (choose 1 directory among 5 extracted directories you got from xmlsForWindowAnimations.zip) into 'res\anim' directory
Close 7-zip, answer 'Yes' when asked whether to update framework-res.apk
If you know how to sign a zip file, do so, copy signed file to sd card and flash it.
Otherwise, copy temp.zip to sd card, reboot to recovery, choose 'Other' then 'Toggle Signature Verify', go back to main menu and flash 'temp.zip'
Reboot
I can't see the screenshot, is it dead link?

Thanks for your info.

Reserved for later update
Awsome....
but you do realize that mik's cm7 is in b3.1 stage and in your signature it is written b2
so will it work in b3.1 ...?
Forgot to update my signature.
Actually I was using mik's cm7 beta 3 when this mod is created.
I am now updating my phone to mik's cm7 beta 3.1.
.... will report if the mod works on cm7 beta 3.1 or not....
EDIT:
Confirmed myself that both mods (mod on post #1 & #2) work on mik's cm7 beta 3.1
is that circular battery part of this mod ?
tks
No, sorry.
Will it work with void?
I don't think so
Is there any possible way I can have this lockscreen mod and honeycomb circ btry mod on galaxy theme runnig on void
I just looked into 'framework-res.apk' of void #echo ROM.
Yes, you can modify contents of the zip file to run on void.
I think you don't need metamorph to modify lock-screen of void ROM.
The reason of using metamorph to change the look of lock-screen here is because T-mobile theme engine (theme chooser) of CM7 can't be used to modify lock-screen.
Apology if I'm wrong.
For circular battery icons, you can use UOT or the zip file I attached here.
Just flash the zip?
No, circbatt.zip only contains battery icons and not flashable. sorry.
But you can use those icons when compiling framework-res.apk.
.... wish I am still using void #echo rom ...

I figured I'd toss this out there as a way for us to pull together (hopefully) as a community.
Since ParanoidAndroid is based off of CM10, should the settings in apns-conf.xml (which I extracted and attached - just remove the ".zip" at the end of the file name) be the same on CM10?
I had applied the APN tweaks to CM10 (proxy/port settings) previously, and with this post had compared the info - and it's different. Just wondering if all these changes should be made to the APN settings.
I would imagine that all Sprint devices should have the exact same APN settings, but I could be wrong.

All you had to do was press the menu button and tap on the option "restore to default" exit that, and reboot your phone that was it, give it another try n let me know what happens

At first that's what I thought but after trying and trying I came to the conclusion that it wasn't going to work so thats why the differences on my xml from the default sprint settings, im not certain if this settings will work for any other ROMs but it works great on the 4.1.1 Paranoid.
Follow the steps carefully and give it another try

Did you do everything carefully?

I didn't use this (the OP's) tweak because I'm on CM10, not ParanoidAndroid.
All I was asking, is this tweak applicable (settings-wise) to CM10? The tweak for CM9/10 for APN's is not as involved as this; this fix changes a lot more of the settings on the APN page.
Hi folks,
This was a very long and arduous process, but it's finally done. It's not a 100% complete theme in regard to the original Honeycomb update, but there are some really nice elements added to make this look like Honeycomb at first glance, but with the performance of Jelly Bean, which is what I was after.
The .zip includes everything you need, including hex color codes to get everything exactly as you see in the pictures. Be careful when applying these modded files, and make sure the files have the proper permissions, including the font. (As soon as you change framework, the tablet is going to reboot, so be exact in your changes.) Otherwise, you'll have to reinstall the ROM. But if you screw up, you can just do a dirty flash, making the process much faster than installing from scratch.
Easy instux: How I did this is, I would create a brand new folder in system/app (for SystemUI.apk) called "temp" or whatever, drop the file, change the permissions, then cut and paste from there, overwriting the original.
Files list:
-Framework-res.apk
-SystemUI.apk
-Original Roboto-Regular.ttf w/ modified Honeycomb numbers edited and merged
-Hex color codes for nav buttons and clock
What has been modified:
-Clock font in the status bar
-Nav buttons
-"Grape Splash" back image for Settings
-Battery and Wi-Fi icons
THIS THEME WAS MADE FOR TEGRAOWNERS JELLY BEAN V20 ROM, BUT SHOULD WORK ON THE CM10, 4.1.2 UPDATE.

Thanks very much! I don't know how to make a theme for theme chooser (.apk), and I don't know how to make a flashable .zip!

I would totally try this on my galaxy tab 10.1 if it were possible
Well, you could use the nav buttons on the bottom left. That part is theme chooser. And the font isn't that difficult to change, either.

How do I apply the files?
---------- Post added at 10:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:50 PM ----------
Well I guess I tried to apply the files. SystemUI force closed. And once I replace framework-res, went into a bootloop.
you should read my instructions in the op.
copy and paste the font to:
system/font
copy and paste systemui.apk to:
system/app
copy and paste framework-res.apk to:
system/framework
before you over write the files, you want to make sure you go into the properties of each file and make sure they are all rw-r-r- so that the system can access and utilize those files. I would recommend creating a "temp" folder in each directory, so:
system/app/temp/systemui.apk and change the properties in there. then you cut from there, and paste back into system/app with the properties changed correctly. do the framework LAST because the system will automatically reboot after you change that file.
it did not work for you because you applied and over wrote the files without having the correct permissions.

I actually did everything like you just said. Everything.
I'll wait for my tablet to charge and try once again for confirmation.
wow, good luck. I wish I knew how to make this work entirely thru theme chooser, or I wish I could make a .zip...

Retried and didn't work. Oh well.
wow, that sucks. that might mean it will only work on the TegraOwners ROM, although that doesn't entirely make sense. sorry, man. :/

Yea I was gonna say that others on this device's board should try this one. I have a foreign device lol. Thanks though. It looks good.
thanks! one more question: did you use es file explorer? because you shouldn't use solid explorer, etc, b/c the permissions don't stick properly. I totally forgot that, reformatted my tablet just now, and used solid explorer and it messed everything up and I had to start again. I used es file explorer and everything is fine.
